Lirrrxcorr’s Pronouncina Gazerrs oF THR Worup. Lippincott & Co., Philadelphia. This magnificent work is not only a credit to the en- ‘terprise and liberal spirit of the publishers, but an honor to the literature of the country. It ia not only the moat elaborate and comprehensive, but the most accurate Publication of the kind that has as yet issued from either the Kuropean or American press. It is at once a complete library of classical and modern geography, poli- tical and commercial statistics, and etymological refer- @nce as regards the origin of local names. Its chief fea- ture, however, is that it gives the exact pronunciation of these names in the language of the locality—a desidera- tum to all those whose classical and lingual acquire- ments do not enable them to master it readily, and who have found but little aid from previous works of this class. We observe also that it gives the adjective and appellation of the inhabitant, derived from the names of the countries, cities or other localities, whenever they appear to be sanctioned by usage or by reliable authori- ty. The advantage of this may readily be conceived, where there is a marked varia- tion in the construction of the appellation, thus derived, as for instance Smymiote, from Smyrna Bootea from Bootan; Sciot from Scio, and soon, Another most useful feature in the book is, that all foreign mea- sures have been changed into English, and foreign cur- rencies into federal and sterling money. From thes facts it will be seen that Lippincott’s Gazetteer i not only the most complete, but the most popular work, of the kind that haa ever been published, inasmuch as i combines all the requirements of the classical student with the facilities and conveniences necessary for general wference. Of the immense magnitude of the work some Mea may be formed from the statement of its editors, that ‘t containa about two and « halftimesas many names as the Imperial Gazetteer, and more than twice as many dames, and nearly three times as much matter as John- ton’s Geographical Dictionary.

Griswoup's Ports AND Portry OF AuEntca; Six- teenth edition. Parry & McMillan, Philadelphia. In the preface to the first edition of this work Mr. Gria- wold stated his design to be ‘‘to exbibit the progress ana condition of poetry in the United States.”” Satisfactorily as that task was accomplished, the learned editor seems not to have been content with the resulta of his first labors, although the fact that the work had gone through fifteen editions would have sufficiently justified him in reporing on his laurels. To this feeling of literary con- scientiousness we owe a good deal of valuable matter now published for the first time in an accessible form, in the sixteenth edition of this valuable collection. Mr. Griswold gives us, by way of a new introduction to it, specimens of the writings of the American poets before the Revolution, with a collection of the songs and ballads of the latter period. We also find added to the new se- lections from the poetical writings of Philip Freneau, St. George Tucker, John Quincy Adams, Joseph Hopkinson, Jobn Shaw, Clement €.

In fact, we know of no single volume in the language which accomplishes within so small a compass @ task of such magnitude and utility. ArrLEton's Epition or THe British Porrs.— PoeticaL Works or Wa. Bowxgs. 2 vols. ‘This excellent serial publication is progressing rapidly. The two new volumes, containing the poetical works of William Bowles, with memoir, critical dissertation, and explanatory notes by the Rev. George Gilfillan, will be found a welcome addition to our collections of standard literature. It combines the recommendations of careful revision, handseme typographical appearance and low- ness of price. The same publishers have also just issued the fifth and sixth volumes of the works of John C. Calhoun, complet- ing the collection. These latter volumes contain most of the reports and public letters written by that able statesman. HARPER'S CLASSICAL LIBRARY.—SMART'S HORACE— DAVIDSON'S VIRGIL. This series of classical translations, in their present carefully revised and handsome typographical form, wil prove an acceptable addition to most libraries, whilst their low price will place them within the reach of those whose acquirements do not enable them to master the original text. By their aid the masses generally will be enabled to possess themselves of the spirit, if not alto gether of the deautice, of the Latin authors. We trust that the series will extend to the whole range of early Roman iiterature. New Anp Comprenensive Frencw Instructor, by Stephen Pearl Andrews and George Batchelor. Appleton & Co. Notwithstanding the numberless attempts made to simplify the study of languages but comparatively little progress has been made towards that object. Each suc ceeding effort seems only to more hopelessly complicate the subject and to puzzle the mind of the learner. The work before us is one of the few exceptions to this re- mark that have fallen under our observation. It origi nates @ new system without making a vain endeavor to patch up or improve upon old ones. In the reduction of & multiplicity of unmeaning rules to as few cardinal ones as possible; in the clearness of its general demon strations and in the terseness of ita style, it is one of the most perfect models of an elementary work that has as yet been published. We recommend all those who are de- sirous of acquiring the French language without the ex- penditure of much time and labor to avail themselves of the facilities which it affords, Taz Op Farm House, by Mra. Caroline Butler Laing. This is a pret‘ily written tale, displaying a good deal of freshness, both of imagination and feeling. Some of the incidents are rather overwrought, but the story ix nevertheless coberent and ingenious in construction, and is worked out with an eye to artistic effect. It belongs, nevertheless, to that class of novels which obtain currency less from their literary excellence than from the vehe- mence and extravagance of their sentiment. Eatorosis—AMERICAN Resectep ADDRESSES. J.C. Derby. An amusing volume of poetical trifles, under the form of rejected addresses, supposed to have been sent in fo, . competition on the inauguration of the New York Indus- trial Fxhibition, They have, however, but little connec- tion with the celebration in question, as they are on every variety of topic but that which suggests the title, They are smartly and humorously written, aud will form ‘ pleasant addition to the parlor table. Isona’s Cutty. J.C. Derby. A work of considerable power, evincing great depth of observation, and a thorough acquaintance with the pas- sions that move the human heart. The writer must have thought and suffered much to have produced scenes of such thrilling interest and pathos. The authoress, who preserves her incognito, has a brilliant career before her as @ writer of fiction, if she only cultivates judiciously the talents that she possesses.

Hanrrrs’, for October, contains an interesting paper on Niearngua, from the familiar pen of Mr. Squier. Recent political ceourrences give the subject jast now a fresh in- terest. The article on “ Bears and Bear Hunting” su; plies us with & number of curious facts in connection with the history and habits of that animal, the amuse- ment of which is enhanced by the grotesque character of the (lustrations. The ‘ Arancanians’’ is a review of « recent work giving a description of « tour among the Indian trihes of Southern Chili, and will be read with in- terest, from the strange habite and peculfarities of the people of whom it treats. “A Trip on the Panama Rail road,”” on the oeeasion of its opening, might have been msde more of, considering the materials which the writer had st band.

The article entitled ‘ Qur Books and Authors,” Although it does not dip below the surface of the subject, is yet an agreeable paper. The chapter on Rachel ia rebash of all the old stories vamped up for the Paris Sowilletoms vy Jules Jenin. It, however, renders full jus tice to the unequalled powers of the great tragédienne. Porxan’s, for October, is & fair average number. The paper entitled “Original Portraits of Washington” gives us the history of all the known existing likenesses of the man who required not the aid of the limner’s art to stamp his memory on the hearts of his countrymen. “Benito Cereno’’ is the commencement of a buccancering story, as far as we can judge, rather weak in construc tion and puerile in style. ‘Unknown Tongues’? is a collection of all the facts known with regard to the lingual facilities of communication onjoyed by “dumb” animnla> The paper is exceedingly well written, and we fancy we recognise in it the instructive pen of the author of “Stray Leaves from the Book of Nature’? “Life omong the Mormons’’ is continued in the preseat num- ber. Tha subject, it seems to us, trenches too closely upon the mysteries of humanity for the readers of a pub- Meation which finds its way into the bands of youth, ‘The article on Tennyson is written with true apprecia- tive power, and will give pleasure to the numerous ad- mirers of that delightful writer. ‘ Expertences in Leba- non)’ form an interesting cbapter in Oriental life. The poper entitled ‘the Drama in France’ appears oppor- tunely to enable thoxe who goto see Rachel to analyse not only the feelings excited by her performances, but th character of pieces so novel to them in construction, and so difficult at first to appreciate. The chapter on Lafay- otte is an ably written tribute to the pure and magnani- mous character of that illustrious soldier of liberty. The article on Kansas embraces a topic which it would be better for the general popularity of the magazine if it left untouched.

Army Intelligence. THE COURT MARTIAL UPON LIEUT. UNITED STATES ARMY, Twa Day.—The Court met at 11 A, M.—Brevet Lieut. Colonel Swords presiding, Jividence was resumed for the defendant. Private Thomas Hoey, U. 8. Marines, was first called. He testifled that he would believe Ser- geant Head under oath, To the question whether he had not previously stated to the counsel for the accused that he would not believe Sergeant Head under oath, the Judge Advocate objected, and the question was not pressed. Private Francis Smith, attached to Company B, recruits, at Fort Columbus, was next called and stated that he had known Sergeant Head over six years, and trom whathe knew of his general character, would not believe him under oath; he had seen him, at various times, under the influence of liquor. In’ the early of September last, in some conversation Lieut. Haldeman, he said, “D—n him, I lke him, and 1 will have satisfaction ‘out of him yet.” The cross-examination of the witness showed that no difficulties or misunderstanding bad ever existed between himself and Sergeant Head; he would not believe rergeant Head under oath, he sald, because Sergeant Head denied in his evidence before the present Court having had any conversation with him about Lieut, Haldeman, and further because on a certain occasion the Sergeant denied baving received from Lieut, Willard money to pay him an amount due him, which Lieut, Wil- lard, as he afterwards learned, had paid him. Fergeant George Fogerty was next sworn.—He had known Sergeant Wm, Head since 1838, and would not believe him under oath; on tke 12th of last September he was at Sergeant Head's quarters; Head told him he was sorry he had reported against Lieut. Haldeman; { acked him why he said, ‘Because the black son of a b— gives me no chance; he crushes me up so tight that | can’t make a cent; you know, Tom, says he, that I have made something heré at times, but now it ix impossible, for when the vessel comes with provisions Lieutenant Haldewan goes to the dock and counts each item, and afterwards, when they are taken to the Commissa storehouse;”” Capt. Van Pelt. of the perry auger, he sai, owed him yet for two barrels of pork: Sergeant Head he had known to be frequently worse for liquor. Cross-exsmined by the Judge Advocate—I told Lieut. Head about the conversation referred to with Sergea Head; I think it was the same evening: [ have had seve- ral conversations with Lieut.

By the Court—Have you known Sergeant Head's cha racter for veracity called in question previous to his amination before this court? A. it was a common re- rt on the island that Sergeant Head was not to be be: lieved under oath. t Charles Honkey, sworn, testified that he was Drum-Major at Fort Columbus, and had known Sergeant Head about sixteen years; he would not believe him under oath ; in September, Sergeant Head showed him a paper, and said it contained the smount, (some $1,500 or $1,400) Lieut. Haldeman had made away with he said he was going to show it to Lieut. Willard, whea Ftold him he had better not; he «aid be should, for Lieut.

The counsel, therefore, claimed that it was compe- tent to show the motives of Sergeant Head. The court room was again cleared of all except the members of the Court, when, after some time spent in de- Uberation, it was decided that the question could be put. It being three o'clock, putting the question was deferr till Mondsy morning, at 11 o'clock, to whish time the Court adjourned. Committees of the Common Council. GCOMMITTEE ON MARKETS—USE OF THE ROOMS OVER ESSEX MARKET AB A MILITIA DRILL ROOM. ‘The Committee on Marketa of the Board of Aldermen, met on Tuesday at 3 P.

The Sixth and ‘twenty-first ments some- time aince petitioned the Common Council for exclusive use of the rooms in question, as they were about to be vacated by the Fourteenth ward police. Upon this peti- tion the Hoard of reported favorably. the report has co the Board of Aldermen, how- ever, remonstrances have been submitted by nearly all the ‘officers of the other regiments adverse to granting the exclusive use of the rooms as asked for, a1 een that they be granted as a general regimental dri room for the various regiments comprising the first division. At a meeting, two weeks since, of the present committee—notices having been given to all in- terested to mppear—extended statements were heard from the petitioners on one side, urging concurrence with the Councilmen’s report, as also the officers of several other regiments opposed, insisting that the rooms should oniy be granted to the entire regiments, such disposition they alleging being provided for by previous resolutions of the Common Council. At the meeting yesterday it was expected that the petitioners would renew their argu- ments, and 'hat warm opposition would be shown by the other regiments.

DEATH OF BUFFALO CHIEF. One of the most remarkable Indiana of the Northwest died on the 7th of September, at the great age of about 100 years.” Few visiters to the head of Lake Superior but have been «truck by the venerable and sedate appearance of Ke-Ch sh-Ke, or the Buffalo Chief, the head and the most able chief of the Chippewa nation of Indi alike noted for his rare integrity, wisdom in couneil, power as an orator, and magnanimity asa warrior. He was confined to his lodge only a week by sickness, pulmonar disease, and was buried one mile below Middle Fort wit! 1y honors. Two flags were borne in the procession of halt breeds, who fired volleys at intervals with thetr rifles. A lerge concourse of Indians joined in the rude funeral pageant. feligions services were held in the Ca- tholfe church, Bulfalo having received the baptismal rites two days before his death. Two or three days previous to hia decease Ruffalo made bis will in the presence of Commissioner Manypenny and others, and a short time helore hia death he prerented the Commissioner his pipe and tobaeco pouch, desiring him to take them with him to Washington, saying, ‘I have smoked my last pipe, and have no more uxe for them."’ The Commissioner told the dying chief bis wish should be gratified. Buffalo was born on one of the Apostle Islands, and when only ten years old made a migratory excarsion, with the family, 40 Lake Erle. They remained two years near the site where the city of Buffalo now is, then, in returning, remained several years at Mackinaw before settling down on his native island. Buffalo had his fifth Wile: anda numerous family, mostly dressing after the faxbion of the whites, and considerably advanced in civi- Vaation. During the first visit of the steamer Planet to La Pointe, Buffalo came on board and attracted the notice and favor of the rs. Judge Wilkins, through an interpreter, addressed the venerable chief in compli- mentary terms. The correspondent of the Detroit Advr- tiser 10 whore obituary notice of Buffalo we are indebted for the facts of his death and history, aay! After the Judge had spoken, the Chief intimated that he desired to eat and smoke before he replied. After » little, he Lag Bn wg to the Judge:—That he was well pleased with iis words, and him for what he had roid; that the visit of the new steamer was like unto the birth of a child. it was uausl to christen children, Mo. seen many winters—that as the leaves of the trees fail from the blighting frost, so should he soon fall under the weight of time. at It would give him joy to see the Judge , thould he ever come, The Chief, more ful than some more favored than he, asked if his would be offensive to the ladies. ir comment being given, he moked in the cabin, the Indies, mean- while, with ribbons, etc., gave a fancy trimming to the chief's hat, when it was passed arount for contritution, and seven dollare collected yty returning thanks, “Me groeteb, me groetch,”’ for the gift, saying {t was t largest gratuity he had ever received.
